In recent years, Daniel has championed the search for FBS alternatives as supplies of the critical cell culture research medium diminish due to persistent drought conditions in key US cattle supplying areas. The reduced cattle supply is being compounded by increased global demand: the amount of animal-based sera and protein products required to support scientific research and human health developments will need to double by 2040. RMBIO is strategically poised to address this challenge with its powerful line of alternatives, including Fetalgro, which have been proven to match or outperform FBS in fostering cell growth.

Daniel’s presentation in Bruges marked the firm’s first official engagement as a member of the ISIA community. In 2014, RMBIO underwent the ISIA’s rigorous independent audit of sourcing and handling procedures to make sure traceability of serum remains intact at every step in their supply chain.

RMBIO’s Director and CEO Suresh Daniel stated, “Our recent certification for traceability was a goal we set last year after attending as a guest at the ISIA meeting in DC. We quickly saw the advantages of becoming a member in this organization and I am pleased that we were able to meet that goal for both our fetal bovine sera and our customized bovine protein products.”

Daniel continued, “Our ISIA certification of traceability offers an unquestionable assurance that our customers are getting exactly what they paid for every time they place an order. We are honored to be part of an organization that is as committed to quality standards as we are, and even more honored to have been able to present on the work we’re doing at their esteemed annual conference.”

RMBIO is an advanced bioscience company that develops and manufactures a broad range of critical cell culture supplements for scientific research and development. The firm’s 20,000 square ft state-of-the-art facility in Missoula, Montana produces bovine, porcine, equine and other serums; as well as bovine serum albumin and customized protein fractions. RMBIO also offers a top-quality Water for Injection (WFI) line with universal connectors for ease of use. Having revolutionized the serum industry with their flagship product Lipogro, RMBIO is once again redefining industry standards for quality with Fetalgro; an innovative new line of bovine growth serums. Fetalgro has been proven to consistently perform as well or better than diminishing supplies of US Fetal Bovine Serum. Our ISIA Certificate of Traceability guarantees the certainty of origins at every step in our product supply chain.
